The Balgownie Estate vineyard was planted in 1969. In ‘table wine’ Victorian terms, that makes it a modern pioneer.
Love this. Medium-weight but beautifully balanced and textured. Pepper spice, dark cherries, brambles and blackberry. I’d call it black pepper but some might call it white; it’s borderline. Tannins are chalky and loamy; almost grainy. Length is good to excellent. Slightest whisper of peppermint. This is a wine to cellar. 94 Points, CAMPBELL MATTINSON, www.winefront.com.au
